Gotham 4x2 : The fear reaper review


Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.

Picking up basically from where left off last week Gordon Bullock and some cops arrive at the house where they think Jonathan Crane is being kept by the criminals from last week's episode. What they find is much more scary though. One of the criminals basically tied up and placed on a scarecrow out in the backgarden signaling that the Scarecrow is coming complete with the ''HE'S COMING'' line.

On from that we see Bruce locked up in a GCPD cell for the first time ever, Alfred arrives to bail him out but Gordon just lets him go as long as it doesn't happen again which Bruce agrees. On the way out they bump into Lucius Fox who questions Bruce on his clothes being torn and scratches on his face to which Alfred responds with ''We were rock climbing'' just brilliant. Really hope Lucius is brought in on the whole situation as he plays a big part in the comics. Safe to say that he is really thought considering that he makes Bruce's very first proto-bat suit. And wow when Bruce puts on that mask for the first time on a rooftop..just goosebumps.

Barbara is back from the ''dead'' and as she correctly puts it always check for a pulse in Gotham before assuming someone is dead. She wants to start a business with Selina and Tabitha to sell and distribute weapons to Penguin and all the criminals that own those business cards that he has we saw in last weeks episode. Smart move on their behalf get in on all the low lives to make yourself some quick cash.

Ivy loses it in this episode and finally does things her way which I absolutely loved. No more nice and friendly Ivy she is here to be her own woman. She visits some herb shop and drinks potions that the guy who owns had locked away in a vault we see her face all start to change and her eyes go just pure black. Can't wait to see what happens with her as she has always been one of my favorite characters from this show and the comics too.

Onto the scarecrow parts now and we wouldn't be talking about this episode properly without mentioning them. All I'm going to say is that they scary bizarre and just amazing. Perfectly capturing in my opinion what happens when someone gets gassed with the fear toxin. Scarecrow even looks menacing and has such an eerie voice to back it up. Really can't wait to see more of him this season. This is only episode 2 and already I feel like it's going to be the best season yet of Gotham.

All in all this was another very strong episode to back up last week's premiere and just shows that Gotham is the best DC show on TV.

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
